Wealth management firm poaches Coutts banker to set up Nottingham office
A wealth management group has hired a former Coutts banker to set up a new Midlands office in Nottingham.
Artorius, the Manchester-headquartered wealth management group, has poached Steve Brandreth as senior client partner. He has joined the firm from Coutts where he spent over 16 years.
Brandreth said: “Joining Artorius is an incredibly positive step for me and my clients. Increasingly the focus for them is on receiving absolutely the highest quality advice from an impartial and unconflicted source. This is becoming almost impossible to deliver if you have access to the services of just one bank. Whether it be investments, liquidity management, borrowing facilities or any number of services, my clients want me as their advisor to be able to access a wide range of choices not just those of one provider”.
“Speaking to the team at Artorius, I quickly realised that the company’s proposition wouldn’t compromise the service that I want to provide. Allowing me to very happily shift my chair from being opposite my clients to being beside them, which provides me with the ability to consult and provide advice without compromise”.
“Throughout my career I have been trusted by generations of families I have known for years, which hopefully demonstrates that they have valued my input.”
Artorius was established in 2015 to provide a range of investment services to high and ultra-high net wealth individuals and families.
Artorius also provides wealth advice, family governance, portfolio management, multi-jurisdictional advice, credit structuring and advice on real estate and classic cars.
Ian Marsh, chief executive at Artorius said: “Steve joining Artorius is a huge asset to us. We are a growing firm that is committed to understanding our clients in the regions and helping them achieve their objectives with the wealth they have generated or inherited. Steve’s experience and client focus fits well with our ethos and him joining Artorius will enhance our business considerably.”
